Arend did not make an attempt in the last round.
Alexander shut down before he staged.

Alexander comes off the line, gets about 200 feet out and goes up in smoke.
Arend made it a little further before striking the tires and backing off the throttle. The good news for both, they will
be racing tomorrow.

Tasca gets about 200 feet out and goes up in smoke. The good news, he gets off the bump. DeJoria was moving
around in the middle of the run and doesn't improve. Left Lane: Del Worsham Runs 7.486/87.61, Now #12; Best prior run: 4.115/310.27, Was #12
Right Lane: Jack Beckman Runs 7.863/85.85, Now #9; Best prior run: 4.100/308.92, Was #9

Worsham and Beckman hit the throttle, get about 150 feet out, then both go up in smoke at almost exactly the
same time. Right Lane: Cruz Pedregon Runs 6.244/109.06, Now #8; Best prior run: 4.091/303.43, Was #8

Pedregon gets about 300 feet out and the engine goes silent, not sure why. This session is turning out to be
the opposite of last nights session, where almost everyone went down the track with a good run. Left Lane: Courtney Force Runs 4.147/311.34, Now #10; Best prior run: 4.106/312.86, Was #10
Right Lane: Tim Wilkerson Runs 4.117/306.40, Now #7; Best prior run: 4.082/309.98, Was #7

A good side-by-side, the first one this round. Force and Wilkerson both go right down the middle of the
track with the two quickest runs of the round so far. Left Lane: Matt Hagan Runs 4.151/306.26, Now #6; Best prior run: 4.071/313.29, Was #6
Right Lane: Chad Head Runs 6.028/111.10, Now #5; Best prior run: 4.065/305.29, Was #5

Head gets about 300 feet out and the car noses over, not sure why. Hagan goes right down the groove with a
decent pass. Left Lane: Ron Capps Runs 4.332/231.20, Now #3; Best prior run: 4.040/316.82, Was #3
Right Lane: Johnny Gray Runs 7.084/86.64, Now #4; Best prior run: 4.061/312.64, Was #4

Gray shook the tires early, gets about 300 feet out and goes up in smoke. Capps drifted to the left, got
close to the wall and had to back off the throttle. Left Lane: John Force Runs 6.246/106.87, Now #1; Best prior run: 4.021/317.72, Was #1
Right Lane: Robert Hight Runs 4.095/313.00, Now #2; Best prior run: 4.030/318.77, Was #2

Force is pretty aggressive early, a .903 sixty foot time, and he goes up in smoke about 300 feet
out.

Hight was drifting a little to the left late in the run but was able to stay on the throttle and make the
quickest pass of the round.

Force qualifies number one for the third time this year and the 143rd time in his
career.
